Cucumber Lemonade

Ingredients

1

cup (250 ml) water

1/2

cup (125 ml) sugar

1

cucumber, chopped

1 1/2

cups (375 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 6 lemons)

Water, club soda, or seltzer to taste

Directions

Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan over moderate heat and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Refrigerate until cool, at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, process the cucumber in an electric blender or food processor until mashed to a pulp. Place in a fine strainer and collect the liquid in a small bowl - you should have about 2/3 cup (160 ml) of the cucumber juice. Combine the sugar syrup, lemon juice, cucumber juice, and water to taste in a pitcher and serve cold or over ice. Serves 4 to 6.
